Who called?!

Got a call from a unknown 08-number (Stockholm) decided to check it on www.eniro.se but it was not registered, did a google search and ended up on this site VemRingde.se and there I could read it was a telemarketing firm that Comhem uses. I do NOT want to talk to them.


Glad I found the Vemringde site, will probably use them again if I get calls from unregistered telephone numbers!

  1. If you really don't want to be contacted by telemarketing companies I can recommend NIX tele.

  2. Also if you want less (paper) junk mail there's NIX Adresserat. That and a "Ge mig reklam och dö"-sign on the door/box keeps unwanted paper mail to a minimum.

  3. I am registred at NIX tele, some seems to believe to be above the 'law' though. Think they can call because I'm already a customer?

    Hehee.. I have a crappy 'Ingen reklam' sign on the door that the previous owner put there and it seems to work. :)

  4. According to NIX Tele rules they can call you to promote shit if you're already a customer. Usually I just tell them to stick it somewhere. I also find it strangely satisfying to unload enough verbal abuse (if the company deserves so) that the caller/seller actually forgets to promote/sell whatever crap it was they called about :-)

  5. Yeah, that's what ther deserve!

    I'm thinking of a new strategy, putting them on hold indefinitely and see how long they care to hang on, and at the same moment I'm preventing them from calling another poor victim!

  7. Amen! :)

    You should read Good Omens (if you not already done it?) a telemarketer gets what he deserves in it. ;)
